While Rahane will lead the team in the first three contests, Bawne will captain the team in the last two matches against the visitors.

Meanwhile, the committee also picked the Board President (BP) XI squad for a two-day warm-up game, set to be played from February 3 against the tourist. Jharkhand stumper Ishan Kishan will lead the BP XI in the contest.

Citing the importance of domestic cricket, the committee did not include members from the teams that have qualified for the Ranji Trophy semis.
